The world is trying to tell us that you need to be "beautiful" and wealthy to "fit in". When in fact, God made everyone perfect. Have you ever noticed that when you are watching tv or reading magazines it seems as though all of the commercials are telling you how to look or how to be succesful if you buy their product? When was the last time an advertisment promised that you would be happier and more successful, and they actually delivered? The people who are most raised up in our society are the beautiful, wealthy people. You can live in the biggest house and have a lot much money and still be empty inside. The biggest problem in America is finding contentment in God and not in things. Things of this world loose their shine and beauty but God is never changing. John Piper once said, "God is most glorified in us, when we are most satisfied in Him." Finding contentment in God alone is such an important part of the Christian life. When you try to run after things you begin to lose hope. Once you start chasing after God, you begin to find meaning and value in your life. You become more of a vivacious person. The world offers contentment but always leaves us empty, God offers love and peace with what you have and always delivers. Learning where to seach for contentment is something most people spend there whole lives doing. God shows us that we can look to him and he will satisfy our every need.
